Detection device for data relating to the passage of vehicles on a road
First Claim
1. A detection device for arrangement in a groove provided in an upper portion of a road to produce data relating to the passage of a vehicle, said detection device comprising:
- a. an elongated substantially-rigid first body comprising an inorganic material and having a longitudinally-extending cavity with a predefined cross-sectional shape having predetermined dimensions;
b. a coaxial piezoelectric cable disposed at a predetermined position in the cavity; and
c. a preformed, elongated, substantially-rigid second body comprising an inorganic material and slidably fitted into the cavity, said second body being shaped and dimensioned such that it fills the cavity above the cable.

Abstract
A detection device for data relating to the passage of vehicles over a road. The detection device is to be placed in a groove provided in the upper portion of the road and comprises a first profiled strip provided with an upper cavity in a U-shape, and a piezoelectric cable of the coaxial type arranged in the bottom of the cavity of the first profiled strip. A second profiled strip is arranged in the cavity of the first profiled strip on top of the coaxial cable. The second strip has a shape and dimensions such that it fills up the remaining volume of the cavity above the cable and seals this cavity.
